Both political parties say they want to help the middle class, and despite what President Trump and Republican leaders in in Washington are saying, Connecticut’s two senators say the middle class will take it in the neck.

“It goes away after five years. This bill gives new meaning to the term ‘bait and switch,” Blumenthal said.

Murphy went further saying, “This is clearly designed to transfer money from blue states to red states, from the middle class to the very rich.”

Murphy says that because the GOP plans either eliminate or limit deductions for property and state income taxes, that adversely affects residents in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and other states that are represented in the Senate by Democrats.
